Amelia Earhart's body has been discovered, according to a new scientific study.
The bones of an unknown individual were found in 1940 on the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro and were originally thought to belong to a man.
However, a new forensic study claims that the bones do indeed belong to Earhart.
The Washington Post reports that University of Tennessee Professor Richard Jantz has run a more modern set of tests making him 99 percent sure that the remains belong to the pilot.
Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and was attempting to be the first woman to fly around the world when she disappeared in 1937.

Jantz compared Earhart's information - her height, weight, and body proportions - to the bones that were discovered in the 40s.
He came to the conclusion that: "In the case of the Nikumaroro bones, the only documented person to whom they may belong is Amelia Earhart."
The bones were found on the island near what explorers thought to be a woman's shoe, a navy sextant, and a herbal liqueur.
Last year, the History Channel released a photograph suggesting that Earhart died in Japan two years after her initial disappearance.
The photo shows Earhart standing on a dock with a group of men. However, it was later revealed by a Japanese blogger that the photo was most likely taken in 1935 as part of a Japanese travelogue.
